Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

very informative, straight forward, and works with you.

I just hung up with his nurse, Shelley. Wow, she is rude and abrasive. Worst customer service I have ever received from a medical professional. I felt like a child getting reprimanded by my teacher for simply asking for a PX refill and referral. Wow. Go elsewhere for better care.

Fluid in ear. Easy to see, now I know why.He suggested I yawn and swallow. He said antibiotics wouldn’t help. Which probably was the case. Went to PA 2 days later and got simple ear drops to dry up fluid. Pretty much waste of time and money. Seems to be a bit lazy as most md’s at that clinic are.
